To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, HERMANN SAUER and OONSTANZE SAUER, residents ofLubeck, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inDevices for Hanging Wall-Mirrors, Pictures, and the Like, of which thefollowing is a s ecification.

The subject of this invention is a device for hanging wall-mirrors,pictures, blackboards, and so on; and the object of the same is, on theone hand, to do away with the cords and the like hitherto in use and tohang up the said articles rapidly and securely and, on the other hand,to keep them always automatically in the right position.

In the main the lnvention consists of three chains joined together atone of their ends. Two of these chains are of equal length and are attheir other ends provided with devices for fastening them to the objectto be hung for instance, with screw-plateswhile the third may be of anylen th and is hung at its other end upon the wall- 00k. The materialused for the chains and the shape of the links and other parts may vary.Preferably, however, flat plate-like pieces are used for the chains toallow of hanging the object close against the wall.

On the accom anying drawing a form of construction of t e device isshown.

Part a serves to hang the whole upon the Wall-hook. According to Whetherthe link a or a or the intermediate links are used for this purpose, theobject may be hung more or less high, as required. The parts I) arefastened to the object. are of equal length and provided at their freeends with plates 12, which can be screwed to the mirror, picture-frame,and the like or fastened to the same in any other suitable way. At b theparts I) and b are united by a pivoted connection of any suitable kind.The joint shown in the drawing is a hinge-joint. By means of this devicethe said objects can be hung rapidly and securely upon the wallhook and,moreover, be easily adjusted to hang straightly on the walls.

What we claim as our invention, and desire to secure by United StatesLetters Patent, is

In a device for hanging mirrors, pictures and the like, in combinationthree chains united at one of their ends, two of which chains are ofequal length, means adapted to be secured to a frame and connectionspivoted to said means and connected to said chains, substantially as andfor the purpose set forth.
